Have we seen the sprues for the plastic figures theyre releasing

Not yet.

**Compel**

I'm a bit confused myself...

As far as I can tell...

We've not seen hide nor hair of the:

Zombie Campaign Rules
Zombie Coop Rules / AI Card Deck
The Zombie rulebook
The Alternate Rebs Commander Sculpt
The Alternate Plague Commander Sculpt
The newer Metal Models
The Collectors Edition.

**GrimDork**

Yeah lol you know people are getting their packages right? I'll be sure to share everything though it won't come in until after the 10th cause forge fathers. Kind of surprised they didn't deploy the digital zombie book by now too though.

**Talking Banana**

Some nice pics of an unpainted production Strider and Stuntbot:

**Sining**

Strider is looking good. Stuntbot isn't to my taste

**highlord tamburlaine**

Stuntbot looks appropriately stunty while still looking big and imposing. At least it looks to be able to stand toe to toe with a Strider.

Was it going to come with any weapon options?

**Triszin**

That stunt bot! I need like 3-5...

**privateer4hire**

That'll cost $90-$150 if you buy them at deep discount.

**barnacle111**

What size bases are the striders on?

**NTRabbit**

Those are the same 60mm laser cut MDF bases that come with the Iron Ancestor

No, but if Mantic choose not to make any in the future then at least it looks like the weapon arms from the Puppetswar.eu walker might fit pretty well

**barnacle111**

Double post sorry!

**Alpharius**

Is one 'premium resin' (resin) and one 'premium plastic' (PVC), or are they both material (X)?

They both look good though!

Strider is PVC/restic (I can't call it 'premium' anything) and the Stuntbot is resin.

Or at least, that's my recollection, and they certainly look made of those materials.

**CptJake**

If that soft detailed mush inside the stuntbot cockpit is resin, I am even less than impressed then when I thought it was restic.

**GrimDork**

It should be as Riquende says. Also, jealous, I want mine.

Just put together the first of my Iron Ancestors (warpath variety), and the restic cleaning for a larger model like that isn't so bad. Don't detect significant warping. I'm a bit more concerned about my Jotum cannons, but perhaps they will glue better than they dry-fit.

**Alpharius**

As sad as it will be to have to do, yeah, the Stuntbot is getting modeled with the cockpit glued shut.

"Premium Plastic" indeed!

**Hulksmash**

The good news is their hard plastic has come out excellent so far. The zombies and terrain are both great. Now to see how the Enforcers & FF come out.

**squall018**

Anyone have any pics of the new zombie sprues that are showing up?

**Hulksmash**

I mean to get some pictures last night but my home comp is acting up.

**shasolenzabi**

1st stage plague Boss is HUGE! scale shot

**Yonan**

The first gen really is a great model imo.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Got my free sprue of zombies in the post today, am very happy with the results. My favourite is the one clawing at its own mouth and its top gum has fell off! Will post some pictures later today.

**DaveC**

Has anyone got the alternate Gen 1 and Reb Leader in Resin yet? I haven't seen any pictures of them

**Thraxas Of Turai**

**judgedoug**

Don't suppose you'll put some together and show us some assembled space zombies?

**Alpharius**

Mantic continues to do really well when it comes to Zombies.

**Riquende**

A friend got his sprue today and brought it into work - have to say I'm impressed with how they came out. Not the absolute crispest casts I've ever seen, but certainly nothing I'd complain about. If the Enforcers come out as well (and they should do, being less organic), then there'll be a lot of happy people in October.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Sure thing JudgeDoug, the glue is still drying on these (nb the centre zombie head is from the KOW zombie kit).

I like these a lot, just not enough variety for those that ordered 40+. Unless they own the KOW zombies that is. Having made these I have 2 arms, 2 bodies and 2 heads as spare parts left on the sprue.

**judgedoug**

Oh man those are great! I think I have 60 coming... and I am pretty sure I have a pile of Mantic Zombies and Ghouls and extra Corporation dudes so I can mix and match and make a giant pile of space zombies! Yay!

**Alpharius**

That settles it!

Mantic creates good zombies, in every sense of the word!
